Chapter 4784: Lu Yan’s Additional Story (14)
Bai Chang did not answer her. He got up weakly and walked towards the bookcase in the dark corner of the bedroom.
Then, he shakily picked up a huge vase…
He pointed at the vase and handed it to Lu Yan, saying, “Can I pay the debt using this?”
Lu Yan almost laughed out loud. She pointed at the vase and asked, “Blue and white porcelain?”
Bai Chang nodded…
He was afraid that Lu Yan wouldn’t believe him, so he gestured with his hands to explain, “It came from an official brothel in the later periods of Ming Dynasty. Currently, the price is over 100 million yuan.”
“Haha, you’re really something. People say that the Bai Family is a treasure trove, that’s really true… You can easily take out something so valuable… No wonder you guys set up such a powerful array downstairs. Fine, this vase looks pretty good. I’ll take it, but it’s too inconvenient to take it with me. When I go back, I’ll find a buyer to take it away and pay me directly. So, I’ll leave it with you for now. Don’t lose it,” Lu Yan joked.
She was already a world-class nouveau riche. Money was just a number to her, so she was not as greedy as the rumors said.
She only wanted to tease him by asking for a deposit. She did not expect him to take it seriously and even give her a big vase.
Bai Chang nodded seriously and carefully placed the vase back.
He turned around and smiled brightly at Lu Yan…
That smile was very warm…
This shouldn’t be someone who couldn’t speak…
Lu Yan suddenly felt a little sad. She turned around and said, “Tsk tsk… I didn’t kill you and failed my mission… What should I do? I’ve never failed all these years… Am I going to ruin my reputation this time? I can return the money I took, but if I go back to the mercenary world, will I be cursed for eternity? Haha…”
Bai Chang was silent for five seconds.
action Then he walked over and gestured in sign language. “You can kill me and return to report.”
“Tch… If I really wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have saved you. Am I that free?” Lu Yan smiled.
“I know who wants to kill me… The person who gave you the money should be my third uncle,” Bai Chang said.
Lu Yan remained silent. Although she never asked for information about the buyer, the source of the mission came from South America.
That person was an important member of the Bai family. As for why the uncle wanted to kill his nephew, it was probably because of the internal conflict in the Bai family. It was not within Lu Yan’s scope of understanding.
Seeing that Lu Yan didn’t say anything, Bai Chang continued, “You can bring me to see my Third Uncle and hand me over to him. That way, you can complete your mission.”
“Didn’t I just tell you? Give me twice the price and I’ll let you go. I can even help you kill your uncle,” Lu Yan laughed.
However, Bai Chang shook his head. “To me, dying and living are no different… It’s different for Third Uncle. He may like this world more than me… so it’s better for me to die.”
“Is there something wrong with the Bai family… One wants to kill his nephew, and the other is willing to die… I say… your father only has you as his son… If you die, who will take care of him in his old age… How can those illegitimate children compare to you, the son of the first wife?”
In the end, it turned out that Lu Yan was the one trying to persuade Bai Chang. The change in their roles was shocking.
Bai Chang stared into Lu Yan’s eyes and asked in sign language, “Do you know why I like you?”
After Lu Yan deciphered his gestures, she felt her eyelids twitch. This was indeed the first time she had met Bai Chang. It was a little too abrupt to say that he liked her, but she knew that this man didn’t have to lie.
